Human Resource Management

Gain a Professional Edge.
Prepare for HR certification with the SHRM Learning System® Program that consistently beats the national pass rate.

Society for Human Resource Management If you've been planning to earn your Professional in Human Resources (PHR®) or a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR®) designation, enroll now in the SHRM Learning System® Program -- an intensive 12-week program.

The Human Resource Management Certificate Program at UNM's Anderson School of Management provided me with the knowledge and understanding of the requirements essential to passing the HRCI exam. Between balancing work and life, I had little time to study for the exam. The classes provide a time to focus on the material and gain specific knowledge of the testing process. The instructors were able to bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and real-life experience. Without the class I can honestly tell you that I wouldn't be SPHR certified today! Thanks UNM!

I had a young lady come up to me at an HRMA luncheon and profusely thank me for helping her pass the SPHR certification test. I was really glad to have had a small part to play in her success.
